Time Management Training

Do you know what the cost of five minutes loafing is? Do you know what the cost of 10 minutes productively spent is? No matter how you look at it, time really is money however you spend it. Who really needs time management training? The simple answer is everybody. Ever experienced how things we learn during seminars, training sessions, and studies are neglected? We don't even notice how we slip back into old, slack habits. You know how to set goals, but do you succeed in reaching them within the set time limit?

• What are you doing while waiting? Waiting for someone to return a call or to fetch a file or end a telephone conversation can become a definite time waster. How can you be productive while waiting for something or someone?
• How do you set a money value on your time? Lack of relaxation will result in very high health costs. Relaxing too much, will cause your monthly budget to surprise you most negatively at the most inconvenient time.
• Are you part of the problem or part of the solution? You can be either a positive investment or a negative expense at work as well as at home. Having a beer while your wife is mowing the lawn, or chit-chatting with a friend while your husband needs a hand with a task you pointed out to him, is not productive either.
• Where to go for time management training. Your employer can send you on a time management course at a training firm or you can follow such a course at a training center of your choice. Why pay for the course yourself? Because it is as much an asset to you as to your employer. There are free time management courses available on the Internet too. If you decide to take an online course, you should also join the group discussions in the chat room of the course presenters.
